Your description of a bathroom âideallyâ situated on the ground floor is , of course, estate agent speak , because in almost no ones world is it ideally situated.
We knew on booking that it was ground floor which we dislike but this was a compromise . We did not anticipate that it was accessed through a conservatory , glass all round, & that the join between conservatory ( sorry, âdining roomâ in your world) & lounge involved a 2â lip up follow by 4â drop down . This is important when in the latter case , you are getting up in the night to go to the toilet , & in the former , wanting to get washed in the morning. Bear in mind there is a public footpath in full view a few yards away. The shower was unsuited to a holiday let because it is fixed height ( for someone very tall) so with no shower caps , difficult to avoid getting hair wet. The kitchen has a tiled work surface with grouting , so impossible to keep clean . The double bedroom , not photographed I notice, is the smaller less attractive one.Why? We worked out it would be perfectly a possible to fit the two somewhat chunky single beds in the smaller room & allow couples to enjoy the extra room , wardrobes & pretty fireplace. Anyone, seeing an assurance that there is parking on street would assume this was a sreet you could see. You canât. I felt misled in this respect. We had to cart suitcases some distance & cross a busy A road with them. The cottage heating was on day & night which we are not used to & because it was way too hot especially when cooking , my husband reduced the temperature. I felt the visitors handbook was halfhearted. No decent instructions for getting the tv started , & again , different to ours. A quick comprehensive guide to putting the heating on timer would have helped. Issues in the visitor book about positioning of the tv have not been addressed. You have to move both settees for two people to see the whole screen. Anyway , not my most successful choice of accommodation you can see. A good job the walks , Blenheim , Oxford , & RSPB reserve which we found , delivered completely in the holiday experience.

We really enjoyed our stay at Wall Cottage and would like to visit again this year when weâre back in the area.
But Iâd like to share some feedback and observations about the property that I think would really make a positive difference. Some are a couple maintenance and upkeep items, others are recommendations for improvements. - the extractor fan in the downstairs cloakroom doesnât work. We couldnât see an isolator switch anywhere to turn it on so assume itâs broken. - the kitchen was very nicely equipped but it would hugely benefit from a knife block on the worktop. Simply laying sharp knives in the cutlery drawer with a load of other stuff lends to cut fingers. - there were perhaps 10 mixed clothes hangers for both bedrooms. Even a good quantity of cheap wire hangers would be helpful. - generally the paint, grout and trim throughout the place needs a lot of TLC. Maybe this is an annual thing you have planned for early in 2025 but it detracts from otherwise a really nice cottage. - could the oil tank in the back garden be fenced in? That, and some basic landscaping with low-maintenance shrubs would go a long way in improving the view and usability of the patio area. - the main piece of feedback for improvement from us is the bedsâ¦. The beds are nice comfortable but theyâre just too small for a couple. The bedrooms are large and could easily accommodate wider beds and would allow a comfortable, peaceful nights sleep for both. This really is a huge element to how enjoyable a week away in the cottage is. Please consider it and weâll be back in a heartbeat! We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the amenities, loca

We have stayed at several Sykes Cottages before and this is the only one we've not felt able to provide a 5* review for.
The cottage is well located, a few minutes off the high street, in Burford and looks just like the photos on the site, however, there was an overwhelming smell of kerosene fumes (or some sort of fuel) which was noxious and nauseating throughout the downstairs living area. The smell would particularly build up during the night and throughout the day when we were out, so we would have to leave the back door and front windows open whenever we used the kitchen, dining and living area. This wasn't too problematic when the weather was hot but we had a few cold rainy days and it was unpleasant to sit in the cold, but even more unpleasant to tolerate the fumes/vapour build up when we closed the doors and windows. The managing agent responded quickly by immediately sending out plumbers twice during our 5 day stay but neither time could they identify or resolve the issue. We didn't have a baby or small children with us but if we had I wouldn't have felt comfortable, or felt it safe to stay in this property, and can only hope that the owner/managing agent can sort out this issue before the property is let to subsequent visitors. On a more minor note the kitchen didn't appear that well kitted out for people who like to cook so would benefit from serving spoons, sturdy cutting boards, wooden spoons, garlic crusher, etc.

The Causeway is in an excellent location next to Blenheim Palace and easy 5 minute walk into lovely Woodstock.
Comfortable stay in a nicely decorated, well equipped ,clean cottage. The garden is very secure for your dog. Walks to be had in the Blenheim estate and across the road there is a 7 mile circular walk to Wootton.(access next to the Black Prince pub).Everything was fine except for the shower pressure which is poor and the television stand is far to low. These issues can be fixed though.Parking may be an issue in the busy holiday times of the year. There is some road noise. Never the less, I consider myself to be a light sleeper and was not awoken by road noise. There are secondary internal windows which helps muffle any noise. Milk,bread,jam,cheese,tea, coffee,sugar and chocolate biscuits were supplied. However,there was no starter pack for the wood burner left for us on our arrival as per description. When we contacted the owner she said she had asked Sykes to remove this from the description. However, it was delivered to us the next day by the housekeeper.I do not think it is a good idea to remove this as it took us 6 hours to travel to Woodstock and then we had to go back out again to look for somewhere that sells wood . All in all had a great stay and highly recommend this cottage.

We had a wonderful time at the cottage and in Woodstock, perfect location for the park.
Cottage was really well equipped and had everything we needed. Parking is a bit of an issue as not guaranteed and we knew this when booking, but we found a space as advised on the lane opposite which was fine for us and a couple of minutes walk - as long as you are prepared then its fine. There are a handful of spaces just along from the cottages but not readily available as residents park there, but we got a space on the last day which was really handy for loading up the car. We could not park on the first day there so had to do a few trips to unload but not an issue for us. The bathroom does need more lighting, only one small light over the sink - there are 2 light fittings in the ceiling but bulbs removed, I would suggest replacing the lights or put something else in its place to give more light. We added on the extra day to our holiday so 8 days, and we thoroughly enjoyed. We had our dog with us and we found The Kings Arms just up the hill really dog friendly and welcoming. Look forward to re-visiting again in the future.
